A lovely outdoor area invites you to stop by. Unfortunately, it's closed on Sunday evenings. I don't know if it's open to the public.
Does anyone have any information?

Rupperswil-Auenstein Power Plant

Highlight • Structure

The Rupperswil-Auenstein power plant (KRA) is a run-of-river power plant on the Aare, between the Aargau municipalities of Rupperswil and Auenstein.
The power plant has a capacity of 40 MW, which is applied by two Kaplan turbines. It uses the slope of the Aare on a river length of 7.3 km, which exploits a mean drop height of almost eleven meters. The generator of the northern group of turbines generates electricity with a frequency of 50 Hz for the national supply, the generator of the group located south generates traction current with a frequency of 16⅔ Hz.

The nearby swimming pool of Auenstein is heated by the hot water of the nearby river power station Auenstein-Rupperswil. Even in winter there is water in the pool. However, the swimming pool closed its doors during the winter months. Both the power plant and the swimming pool are located in the Auenschutzpark Aargau.
